Have you checked out the Stevenson Projects, Pocket Yachts ?
http://www.stevproj.com/PocketYachts.html . They can be built as open boats
or with smallish cabins, seem easy to build and the plan pricing is fairly
reasonable. I have just started the Pocket Cruiser and things apear to be
going together well.

Just a thought...... Good luck

I am looking for a design for an easy-to-build camping boat that has
the following characterisitcs:

1. 14-16 foot, lightweight and beachable
2. Simplist plywood construction possible
3. Cat rig
4. A mast that hinges down for motoring
5. Ablity to plane with small outboard motor

Some covered stowage area and floatation would also be nice.

Has anyone seen ready-made plans for anything lile this, or something
that could be easily modified to suit?

Thank you for your reply.

You might look into the "Instant Boats" of Dynamite Payson. The
"Windsprint" just might meet all of your requirements.....it met mine.

A 16' double ended sharpie....flat bottom....no standing
rigging...mast lifts out of partner...draws 4"-6"...flotation can be
added at stem and stern...small motor can be mounted
outboard......quick...simple to build...and inexpensive.

I even copied the plans from a book at the library.

While at the library, you might also look Ruel Parker's book about
sharpies.

Good luck,
